Default shitty f1 coverage

i'm so fed up w/ this network b.s. apparently this one is also de-speedvisionized

b/c of that, they show(ed) practice already on speed, and will NOT re-air later tonight.

qualifying is live on speed tomorrow, and no re-broadcast either.

then race on sunday 1p.m. on regular network... wasn't very happy w/ the last race's coverage... started on the dot w/o a pre-race. they cut to coverage as they were finishing up the formation lap. no pre-race... nothing. wtf??? :XX

I feel your pain. The show gets so dumbed down with it's on the big network.

Agreed, while vastly better than when on CBS (only because of the commentators) I am not overly pleased with the lack of pre/post race coverage.

I thought USGP coverage was good, but I missed the pre-race pit with with Peter Windsor.

Hopefully they will start to get it. However I know they won't.

it's hopeless and akin to not understanding how a 1:1 game was very good and very exciting. it's like trying to explain sex to a virgin

Nope, I think Rupe got the British GP. At least they kept the Speed team. Its back to Speed after next week. I hope they s---canned Derrik Daily after the USGP. the man should not be allowed to speak within 200 feet of a microphone.

+1

Did you see the post show where they took turns interviewing all of the F1 drivers? The shit that Derek asked was retarded. I wonder how the rest of the crew feels about him?

The man is an idiot. I think his presence was a one time deal. I sure hope so. If they get rid of him they will have the best announcing crews in televised sports IMO. Good coverage this morning of practice.

x2 Network coverage sucks. Can't wait for the return to Speed. Derek is a moron. Peter Windsor is getting screwed out of doing his job.

}{ - sounds like you need a Tivo or similar!
